modelDynamicSplitterN
Extends from ThermofluidStream.Utilities.DropOfCommonsPlus (Extend this to use 'dropOfCommons', 'instanceName', 'displayInstanceName' and 'displayParameters').
Information
Dynamic variant of the generic splitter with one upstream connection and N downstream connections. This model accounts for dynamic pressure/momentum effects and is suitable for transient analyses where inertial behavior in branching nodes is relevant. Be aware that dynamic formulations can increase model stiffness and nonlinear complexity.
In general the component has two non-linear equation systems of size 1. This can be resolved by setting Advanced->assumeConstantDensity=true (default: false).
considerInertance
For the parameter considerInertance, refer to Idealized.UsersGuide.InertanceNeglect.
